Our Heritage

Three Generations,
One Mission

The story of Shanmugha Nandi Sanjivi Thailam begins in 1958. Dr. R. Kandhasamy (RIMP, RHMP) was a master practitioner of Ayurveda and Siddha medicine. He created this herbal oil for pain relief and recovery, drawing on centuries of traditional knowledge and decades of practice.

His son, Dr. R.K. Shanmugham (RIMP), is an expert in Ayurveda, Siddha and Naturopathy. He carried the work forward. He refined the ingredients and strengthened the formula for modern use.

Today the same oil is made by the third generation of the family. It carries three things forward: heritage, trust and careful improvement.
